[Versive]

Not surprised to see Cube on so many lists. Clearly he's a board favorite. But Prodigy?! I didn't realize...

Nah, Schoolly D did. Are you thinking of Ice T?

E-40
Ghostface
Warcloud
Gucci Mane
Lil B

This would be the illest supergroup of all time. Respect.

[Fuzzy Logic]

dead ass list

[Versive]

I didn't think you were joking. Your list rules. Warcloud makes me laugh, and his talent is criminally under-appreciated.

Also, after some (much) consideration, I want to revise my original list, deading the hybrid active/inactive bullshit and just saying that my All Time list is my Top 5 Dead/Alive. As much as I listen to a lot of current rappers, I'm not willing to say they're Top 5 Dead/Alive yet.

1. Rakim
2. Breeze Brewin
3. Ghostface Killah
4. DOOM
5. Schoolly D

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

cube=WC rakim

[Versive]

I don't know about that one either. First he invented gangsta rap, now he's west coast Rakim? You're entitled to your opinion and Cube is one of the GOATs but nah.

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

ite i take it back. ra is the east coast ice cube.

[ackbar]

- The Jacka
- Mac Dre
- Cam'ron
- Posdnuos
- Buck 65

something like that covers my most listened to faves since the late 90s. early/mid-90s would have to be another list

[Larry2times]

Posdnuos is a good call
